A Question in Physiology.

Why the walls of the stomach and in
testines are not themselves digested by
their own fluids has for more than 100
years been mooted question in physi-
ology. DR.. John Hunter maintained
that it was because these tissues were
living, and other theories have been adj
vanced, but none satisfactory. DIR. j.
w. Warren, in paper in the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal gives the
results of twenty experiments of his own
made on fifty frogs. He suspended the
legs of the frogs while living in an artifi-
cial gastric juice (that is, pepsin and
hydrochloric acid and found that the
muscular tissue was digested. as shown
by the presence of peptone, the frog re-
naming alive throughout the expert
ment. When acid was used without the
pepsin the muscle was softened and dis
solved, but not peptonized, and therefore
not digested. 1t thus appears that living
tissues may be digested, and the problem
is still unsolved. Boston Herald

1.-The two best friends of our glorious
Fourth, said dealer, care Chow-Hing
and Choey Sun of Canton. The BOYS
find fewer Sisters in pack of their fire
crackers than in any other make Theirs
are the kind that go off best with us,
anyhow. When you see that red label
with the gold dragon on it you may be
sure you are buying firecrackers that will
crack. See that matted and rattaned
package there like a chest of tea? In that
are exactly 90, 4S0 crackers. 1t takes in
eight boxes, with forty packs in each box
and in every pack sixty-four crackers.
Some packs contain seventy-two crackers,
but fully 80 per cent. of our importations
are what we call '40-64s.
"How many packages like that come
on one ship" he was asked.
Five thousand is quite an ordinary in
voice. That would be just 1902 400, 600
of the crackers. How would YOU like to
float for four months atop that much
powder: These crackers arriving to-day
We're ordered as long back as September
and October. In China crackers are

The rule never to give opium in any
form for any affection that is of long
duration should never he forgotten by
physicians. Headaches, neuralgia and
the like diseases, which are likely to re-
turn frequently, should not be treated
with opium, laudanum, morphine, chic
rodyne or other preparation of this drug,
unless all other methods fail. Physicians
are too often criminally careless in this
regard. The mental. moral and physical
wrecks, the grand army of which is con-
stantlv on the increase, can most of them
trace their ruin to some careless, lazy or
incompetent physician. What is above
written applies with even greater force to
the use of the hypodermic syringe. The
physician who places this seductive and
powerful instrument in the hands of his
patient, to be used at the latter's discre-
ton is guilty of wrong compared with
which highway robbery is matter too
trivial for notice.
In cases of advanced and incurable
cancer or any excruciatingly painful
disease, in which death alone offers re-
lief, the opium habit is certainly to be
justified, and the hvpodermic syringe
with morphine solution may be placed
in the hands Of suitable person for use
in the absence of the physician. In all
other cases such discretion should never
be intrusted to an unframed individual
never i'll the hands of the patient. Like
opium, alcohol is an anesthetic and ex-
erts a powerful fascination when it is
frequently used. Like it, also, it is a
most valuable remedy in disease, espe-
cially in those tending toward a fatal
termination by rapid exhaustion and fail
ure OF the heart to keep up to its work.
These diseases are characterized by high
fever, rapid. feeble pulse and prostration
of muscular strength. which comes on
with comparative suddenness. Such are
typhus and typhoid fevers, pneumonia,
malignant forms of eruptive fevers and
blood poisoning, including diphtheria,
erysipelas. septicRmia and pyemia. -

What vile habit that is which one
seesindulged in on street cars by people
wh' certainly ought to know better.
Tha of putting coins in the mouth is the
one referred to. 1t is quite common
amng women, who under such circum-
staIres never seem to have quite hands
enough, and SO they press their mouths
intoservice to do what is not only vul-
gar thing, but absolutely filthy. The
nickel which is taken from the purse
may have recently left hand unwashed

theIa or other infectious disease. Or it
mayhave come from the hand Of man

"What methods do you employ in
your literary work." is question often
asked the author who rises to fame. and
the public is always curious for the an
swer. CHANGING not long since to have
occasion to write to Mr.. Philip G. Hamer-
ton, correspondent asked the above
question. The answer which it elected
is interesting. Il think" writes Mr..
Hamerton, THAT there are two main
qualities to he kept in view in literary
Observation-Disclosures and finish. The
best way, in my opinion, of obtaining
both is to aim at freshness in the rough
daft with little regard to perfection or
expression: the finish can he given by
cCpious subsequent correction, even to
the extent of writing all over again when
there is time. Whenever possible |
would assilnilate literary to pictorial exc
cuion by treating the rough draft as a
rapid and vigorous sketch. without any
regard to delicacy of workmanship: then
| would write from this a second work,
roaming as much as possible the fresh
ness of the first, but correcting those
oversights and errors which are due to
ra}idity. Toronto Week

AT dinner recently given in New
York the hostess presented her guests
with satin banjos, exquisitely painted in
water co'ors and mounted in silver.
These, with the corsage bouquet, were
laid at each lady's plate. A gentleman
gave theatre party to dozen of his
friends, and after the theatre a supper at
Delmonico's. Just before the conclusion
OF the repast six gilt bird cages, each
containing sweet voiced canary bird,
were brought in and presented to his
lady guests Silver enters very largely
into ornaments for favors. Silver toilet
articles of curious designs are sought for,
and the dressing bureau that does not
contain dozen of these articles, artistic
ally spread upon a mat of plush, is de-
cidedly behind the times.-Frank Leslie 8.

There is more personal attention paid
to guests in certain sense by the SER
wants of the English hotels than in ours
But as it is "A service chiefly directed
against the pocketbooks of the guests it
soon becomes very annoying At all of
the leading hotels of London there is a
uniformed porter at the door. If there
are one or two inside doors you will find
porter in uniform at each one of these.
At the elevator often stands porter in
the uniform of a chasseur. You will
find at every turn and bend in any great
London hotel gayly uniformed servant
ready to step across your path and insist
upon helping you i'll the most trivial way,
but expecting always in return for each
act a siXpence. The very way that a
porter bows to man as he leaves the
house is suggestive of the siXpence. All
of this show and attention has not the
slightest semblance of hospitality
The English people as class do not
live in hotels. Every Englishman, how
ever poor, keeps house. They are very
fond of shutting themselves up behind
regular forts of walls. Since the sunny
days have come have taken a number
of walks through the residence portion
of London. and / do not think, during
the many miles that l have walked
about. that have found house open
even to the most casual view of the gen
eral public. Even the smallest cottages
have brick walls built around them, and
the visitors who desire to enter must ring
a bell in the side of the door in the gar
den WALTZ. c. Crawford in New York

Two Million Gipsi-s in America,

That there are from one to two millions of
Gypsies i'll America to-day is an assertion
/ confidently make, based upon a quarter
century, study Of and more than three
years actual companionship with, this
people in their homes and tents and upon
the road; from careful inquiries in all
parts of the country, involving much cor
respondence; from actual lists of Gypsy
families and heads of families in my
possession, and from moderate computa-
tons made with these aids. after careful
scrutiny by reliable Gypsy chiefs has been
secured. This is startling statement to
thoughtful men.
The Gypsy has been merely regarded as
a romancers bugaboo, or as only existing
among us as an occasional straggler along
the pleasant countrysides. But their pres
ence and marvellous growth IN numbers
must Ike recognized. They will shortly
comprise an important factor in social,
economic and ethic consideration. How
the sly fellows have come, is no especial
marvel when known. Before the Revo-
luton, several thousands were here.
During that period many thousands more
came as impressed British soldiers, de-
serted and remained, or at the close OF
the war mustered themselves out and
merged into the large nucleus already
formed. These We're the pioneers which
swiftly sent secret word to every part of
the inhabitable globe that America was
the Gypsy's heaven, and to come to it
without delay.-Edgar l.. Wakeman in
Philadelphia Times.

We are astonished and highly pleased
with view of an entire city in pink the
olcest and at the same time one of the

many colored palaces and dwellings, with
columns and towers, some with and some

with figures or stripes of white. Never

We are told of a strange clock that is
said to have belonged to "A Hindoo prince.
a large gong was hung on poles near the
dial, and all about upon the ground lay
pile of artificial human heads ribs, legs.
and arms. The whole number of bones in
the pile was equal to the number of bones
in twelve perfect bodies, but the pile APP
peared to have been thrown together in
the greatest confusion. When the hands
of the clock indicated the hour of out
from the pile crawled first the number of
parts needed to form the frame of one
man, part coming to part with quick
click, and, when completed, the figure
sprang up, seized a mallet, and, walking
up to the gong, struck one blow. This
done, he returned to the pile and fell to
pieces again. When O'Clock came two
arose and did likewise; and at the hours
of noon and midnight the entire heap
sprang up, and, marching to the gong,
struck one after another his blow. making
twelve in all, then returning fell to pieces
as before.-Popular Science Monthly.

Division'-Frank Opinions.
1t might have been with a view to dis
miss me with his blessing only that the
warden was about to place in my hand a
statistical book with respect to the insti-
tuition. | checked him in this design and
frankly told him I did not come to the
prison for such material. "What l would
like. said |, lis to go through the prison,
see and talk with the prisoners and write
more as to the romance of crime rather
than the statistics of it,.
| will never forget the look he gave me.
With his cold, gray eye fixed upon me,
he said: "1'here is no romance in crime.
Nor is there any honor among thieves.
Both are fallacies. The man who will
cheat you will cheat me. Thieves do not
trust one another. When they commit a
burglary conformity, one goes into the
house with another to prevent the burying
of the swag."

"What makes the criminal classes, any

came
Ninety per cent
"Do you mean. :" I continued "that 90
per cent. of the criminal class is born

That's what l mean he said. 1T
is a part of their birthright. They are
criminals because they cant help it. We
have men in this prison to-day who are
serving a fourth term.
" How as to their illiteracy?" l sug-
gested.
"Well, all are not illiterate," he said.
"There are a class of criminals who must
be otherwise. Take the bank note count
erfeiter the forger and the more auda-
cious set, and they have fair intelligence
and education.
How many of them have trades?'' l
asked.
Not 10 per cent" he said. Il say it
with credit. but few mechanics are ever
committed here. The philosophy of this
is that if the mind is occupied the temp
tation to commit crime is reduced to the
minimum.
Turning the subject in another channel,
| said: Mr.. Cassidy, won't you tell me
the exploits of some of the famous crimi-
nails committed to your care? Tell me of
what they have been convicted and
something of their antecedents."
Il will not, he said firmly 1T is
against the rules of the prison. When
men are committed here we protect them

they go out they 90 with the conscious
